<p><span class="font-size-3"><em><strong>"You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only." - James 2:24</strong></em></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4">Jesus is not looking at our intentions, wishes, or knowledge of what is right. He is looking at our works! Are we allowing the grace of God to produce holy living and ministering to others in our lives, or have we received the grace of God in vain?</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><em><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">"I know your works......"</span> - Revelation 3:15</strong></em></span></p>
<p><em style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">"So then, because you're are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth."</span> - Revelation 3:16</strong></em></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4">Lukewarm people become like whoever they are around. Around true followers of Jesus, they can blend in with them. They know the Scriptures, sing the songs, and say the right statements. Around followers of the world they think and conduct their lives in a worldly manner, that is, selfishly. They obey God when obedience is pleasant or in their best interests. But they are really motivated by their own desires.</span></p>

But who do we follow and believe in, order to understand our identity and purpose?<br/> Having therefore studied history, we are led to the main two doors: Life and Death.<br/> It is really very simple. If we listen to the one who made us, we will live. If not, we will die.<br/> There has always been more to life than meets the eye. We MUST therefore know beyond what we see. We must valiantly walk through the door of The ONE who holds the Master Key.</p>BECOMING PUREtag:afministry.ning.com,2017-08-16:4923022:BlogPost:2964522017-08-16T15:09:13.000ZAlbert Finchhttp://afministry.ning.com/profile/AlbertFinch

<p><br/><span style="text-decoration: underline;" class="font-size-5"><strong>SETTING HIS AUTHORITY OVER OUR LIVES</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4">Usually, people think of temptation as some big dark sin rather than the SUBTLE LURING INTO A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. For those who don't know God, these thoughts are normal life; but for those who have given their lives to God, these kinds of thoughts shouldn't be a way of life but something attempting to come from the outside in.</span></p>
<p><br/><span class="font-size-4">We want thoughts that are inspired by the Holy Spirit because we are abiding in His Presence. As we have our conversation, our CONFESSION, MEDITATION, AND DEVOTIONAL with God -- by His Word and truth -- then He has the authority over our lives. Our time is valuable and we want to use that time as an opportunity to increase our spiritual momentum to dive deeper into the heart and PURPOSE of God for our life.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;" class="font-size-5"><strong>UNDERSTANDING HOW HE VIEWS US IN CHRIST</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4">Knowing how He views us in Christ will strengthen the inner man and demolish satan's strongholds.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><em><strong>For the weapons of our warfare are not worldly but have divine power to destroy strongholds. - 2 Corinthians 10:4</strong></em></span></p>
<p><br/><span class="font-size-4">True Christianity sparks a flame in the human spirit. It ignites the heart with holy fervency for Jesus.</span></p>

<p><span class="font-size-3">Many Believers love on people by telling them how precious they are, help them out with things they need doing, and even say a prayer to bless them but never actually preach the Gospel to them.

<p><span class="font-size-3">Many Believers love on people by telling them how precious they are, help them out with things they need doing, and even say a prayer to bless them but never actually preach the Gospel to them. They try to explain that doing acts of love is synonymous with preaching the Gospel and that they can preach with actions rather than words.</span></p>
<p><br/><span style="text-decoration: underline;" class="font-size-4"><strong>WE MUST PREACH THE GOSPEL</strong></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><em><strong>Mark 16:15 - "And He said to them, <span style="color: #ff0000;">'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.'"</span></strong></em></span></p>
<p><br/><span class="font-size-3">Acts of love are needed but they do not replace preaching the Gospel. Buying food for the homeless, carrying shopping bags for old ladies, showing care and love to the young and healthy and ministering to the sick and disabled are great opportunities to love -- to introduce the ones in front of us to the One who taught us how to love -- Jesus. Share the Gospel -- Jesus' death and resurrection and how receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior by faith and repentance from sin can bring them into salvation.</span></p>
<p><br/><span class="font-size-3">While it is true that we can't force people into the Kingdom but we must be confident in the Holy Spirit to believe He is already convicting the hearts of the ones we are speaking to and be BOLD to speak the Gospel message and give them the opportunity to receive the Lord.</span></p>
<p><br/><span class="font-size-3">The full Gospel for which the Lord died for must be preached. The ones we regularly interact with but never actually minister the Gospel to if unsaved, when they die, will go to Hell – despite our loving on them!</span></p>
<p><br/><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><span class="font-size-3">THE JOY OF SALVATION</span></strong></span><br/><span class="font-size-3">Many times on street outreaches, we bless people with prophetic words and even offer to pray for their sicknesses, but again this does not replace preaching the Gospel of salvation. These are amazing ways to open up peoples hearts to hear the Gospel yet, the prophetic or healing words themselves do not save anyone. They are great tools to open up hearts to the Father's love but are never meant to be used as an end in itself but rather as a means to an end.</span></p>
<p><br/><span class="font-size-3">The salvation of the soul is the ultimate goal. Even if you don't have a prophetic or healing word for the one in front of you, be encouraged to be bold to preach the message of salvation in love and power to them because the Gospel has more than enough power to turn people to Jesus.</span></p>
<p><br/><span class="font-size-3">Let us be restored to the joy of our salvation. Remember that wonderful moment the Lord saved you and be joyful to bring others into the experience of salvation you have. What a joy to bring multitudes into Heaven with us as we understand the urgency of the times we live in.</span></p>

<p><em><strong><span class="font-size-3">"And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, 'See now, the place where we dwell with you is too small for us. Please, let us go to the Jordan, and let every man take a beam from there, and let us make there a place where we may dwell.' So he answered, 'Go.' Then one said, 'Please consent to go with your servants.' And he answered, 'I will go.' So he went with them. And when they came to the Jordan, they cut down trees. But as one was cutting down a tree, the iron axe head fell into the water; and he cried out and said, 'Alas, master! For it was borrowed.' So the man of God said, 'Where did it fall?' And he showed him the place. So he cut off a stick, and threw it in there; and he made the iron float. Therefore he said, 'Pick it up for yourself.' So he reached out his hand and took it." - 2 Kings 6:1-7</span></strong></em></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;" class="font-size-4">First Axe Head Revelation: WHERE DID YOU GET OFF COURSE?</span></strong></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">The ax head represents the power of God – the anointing of God working through us. It's the cutting edge. So if the axe gets dull, you're unable to accomplish the work of God (without the anointing and the power of God).</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><em><strong>"If the axe is dull, and one does not sharpen the edge, Then he must use more strength; But wisdom brings success." - Ecclesiastes 10:10</strong></em></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">When Elisha threw the stick into the water there was a supernatural exchange. The young prophet humbled himself, admitting he lost that which he had borrowed. He was remorseful and repentant. Then the man of God took a stick (which represents man's human efforts) and cast it into the river. There was a supernatural exchange through the power of repentance. Restoration took place and the axe head floated to the top, which is impossible.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Elisha asked the young prophet, <em><strong>"Where did it fall?" (2 Kings 6:6)</strong></em> Or another way of saying it, "Where did you get off course or where did you lose the anointing?" Many have been living on borrowed time and not walking in the fullness of the anointing they're called to. Many in the Body of Christ have been waiting for God to move in their life and all the while He's been waiting on them to grab hold of His garment. When they got off course all progress halted. <span class="font-size-4"><strong>Their spiritual life stopped because they lacked faithfulness and intimacy with God.</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Once the axe head floated to the surface, Elisha told the young prophet to pick it up. In other words, quit mumbling and complaining about the past. You have repented so now pick up the anointing and move on. The fact that some have gotten off course becomes ancient history once they repent of it. Now it's time to grab hold of His garment and move with the anointing. Put your hand into the river of God and flow with His Spirit.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;" class="font-size-4"><strong>Second Axe Head Revelation – SUPERNATURAL MINISTRY</strong></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">The sons of the prophets were raised up to turn the nation to God. As they grew in the anointing they outgrew their school and were ready to be released into ministry. It was time for them to begin to disciple others. Now they stood at the bank of the River Jordan. The same place where they witnessed Elisha receive Elijah's mantle.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">It was no accident one of them broke his borrowed axe. It was necessary for Elisha to perform a prophetic act in this place. Here Elisha represents the Father that prunes away the branch so it will bear more fruit and be more productive. The tree can no longer bear fruit without the Holy Spirit. We need the power of God to get the job done. We can't do it without Him.</span><br/> <em><strong><span class="font-size-3"><span style="color: #ff0000;">"I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit."</span> - John 15:1-2</span></strong></em></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">The Jordan represents the river of God and resurrection power. When Elisha threw the stick in the water supernaturally, the axe head (that represents the power and anointing) emerged. But he told the young prophet to pick it up. Why? "By faith" he had to pick up the anointing. In the same way, Elisha had to pick up the mantle of Elijah when he was taken up in the chariot. Elijah was a father to Elisha and Elisha was father to these young prophets.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">The young prophet passed the pruning because he humbled himself, repented, then picked up the anointing. When he reached down into the River Jordan he was anointed for supernatural ministry.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;" class="font-size-4"><strong>BY FAITH PICK UP THE ANOINTING</strong></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">If you aren't moving in the anointing, then do a self-examination. Ask God to reveal where you got off course and where you lost the anointing. Then humble yourself, repent, pick up the anointing and move on. Don't let the enemy sidetrack you into believing you don't have it. You are not the stick cast into the river. You are the anointed ax head sharpened and ready for resurrection power!</span></p>

<p><em><strong><span class="font-size-3">Matthew 14:28-31 -- 28 Peter said to Him, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” 29 And He said, <span style="color: #ff0000;">“Come!”</span> And Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and *said to him,…</span></strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong><span class="font-size-3">Matthew 14:28-31 -- 28 Peter said to Him, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” 29 And He said, <span style="color: #ff0000;">“Come!”</span> And Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and *said to him, <span style="color: #ff0000;">“You of little faith, why did you doubt?”</span></span></strong></em></p>
<p><br/><span class="font-size-3">Just like Peter, this is the season that many people need to step out of their comfort zone and the normality of life. Peter had to leave the boat, where everyone was, to get closer to Jesus. When you are on a body of water, especially in a storm, the safest natural place to be is in a boat. But when Jesus says, <span style="color: #ff0000;">"COME,"</span> you will be compelled to step out of what seems comfortable and safe for you.</span></p>
<p><br/><span class="font-size-3">As soon as Peter stepped out of the boat, he had to step out onto the word of Jesus. Whenever you have your stepping out moment, step out onto the words God has spoken over your life.</span> <br/><span class="font-size-3">When God calls us to Himself, He wants us to walk deeper with Him. Any step toward God is a step in the right direction. In <strong>James 4:8,</strong> God promises, <em><strong>"Draw near to Me and I will draw near to you."</strong></em></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;" class="font-size-4"><strong>STEP UP</strong></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Once you step out and start walking out the prophetic words God has spoken over your life, you begin an incredible, life-altering journey with the Lord. Once you have stepped out, then you step up into a new season of your life.</span> <br/><span class="font-size-3">God has called us to step out of the normality of life to receive a greater revelation from Him and deeper wisdom to step up higher in this new season. God has an amazing plan to elevate us to a place of increase and favor where He can use our life, gifts and calling for His purpose and the Kingdom of God.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;" class="font-size-4"><strong>STEP ON THE WATER OF FAITH</strong></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">While Peter was on the journey from the boat to Jesus he started to sink. He was right in the middle between the other disciples, which can mean "the crowd" and Jesus.</span></p>
<p><br/><span class="font-size-3">Jesus was looking at Peter wanting him to draw closer, to show him that he was able to do everything which Jesus was going to do. Behind Peter, some of the disciples were probably saying things like, "The wind is blowing hard and the waves are getting high. Do you think he can make it much longer?" The same is true with us.</span></p>
<p><br/><span class="font-size-3">When we step out into a new adventure or journey with God, so many people will say negative and doubting things. But if we keep our eyes on Jesus and step on the water in faith, we will continue the journey, taking each step on the Word of God.</span></p>
<p><br/><span class="font-size-3">When Peter took his eyes off of Jesus, he took his eyes off of the supernatural. When God calls you to do something supernatural, you can never look at the natural or listen to naturally-minded people. If you look at things in the natural, you will not be able to accomplish the supernatural, perfect plan that God has for your life.</span></p>

<p><span class="font-size-3"><em><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">"He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."</span> - John 7:38</strong></em></span><br/><span class="font-size-3">Many needed breakthroughs for the Body of Christ are awaiting the release of this river we carry within.</span> <br/><span class="font-size-3">Hearts clogged with unbelief, doubt, and pain through trauma will receive a visitation of His power that will release the wells within. Many are going through fiery trials that are strategies from the enemy to cause fear and doubts to arise, to hinder or halt the flow of His Spirit. Many in the Body of Christ do not realize the hugeness and the power of the river they carry within.</span></p>
<p><br/><span style="text-decoration: underline;" class="font-size-4"><strong>UNBELIEF AND DOUBT</strong></span></p>
<p><br/><span class="font-size-3">Although the river within each Believer is infinitely powerful, many are not releasing this river as it remains contained within instead of being released as an overflow. Unbelief and doubt have arisen in hearts due to long-standing difficult situations, traumas, and grief that caused their hearts to be wounded. All of these have caused the soil of the hearts of many Believers to become hardened, hindering the flow of the river within.</span><br/><span class="font-size-3">Many Believers, therefore, do not walk in the overflow of His power that they were destined to walk in. His Word, as it is released through affirmation, meditation, AND VISUALIZING THEMSELVES IN HIS WORD, breaks through the rocky soil of the heart, releasing healing to hearts that are wounded and simultaneously causing the river to flow untapped.</span> <br/><em><strong><span class="font-size-3">Jeremiah 23:29 says, "Is not My Word like fire," declares the LORD, "and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?"</span></strong></em></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">RECEIVING HIS ENCOURAGEMENT</span></strong></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">If you are in a barren place, where you do not feel the overflow of His river within you, the Lord is releasing this encouragement to you:</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><span class="font-size-5">1<strong>.</strong></span> He is your ever present help in trouble. In Psalms 46, He promises that He, Himself, will help you and He will release a river of gladness within you<strong>. Psalm 46:4-6</strong> says, <em><strong>"There is a river whose stream makes glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. God is within her, she will not fall. God will help her at the break of day."</strong></em></span><br/><span class="font-size-3">As you become one with His Word, He ministers in the barren and rocky places of your heart. As you do so, His river of joy is released within to break the power of fear and desolation.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><span class="font-size-5"><strong>2.</strong></span> I hear the Lord's gentle warning to be careful of the condition of the soil of our heart. In <strong>Matthew 13:1-23,</strong> in the parable of the sower, as the seed was sown in 4 different soils, only one of them bore fruit.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">The <strong>3 soils that did not bear fruit</strong> represented hearts that the enemy stole the Word from as they experienced persecution, trials, and inability to allow the Word the Lord has spoken to them to take root. The soil of the heart that bore fruit was the heart that fully understood and received the Word of the Lord that was spoken to them and did not allow the cares and trials of the world to choke out the Word within them. In essence, a person's ability to release the river of God or anointing within them is determined by the condition of the heart.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Though you might be going through trials, these are the very conditions that will allow His river within you to flow as a powerful tsunami. In the natural, a tsunami is caused by a disruption or an earthquake.

<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4">This kind of revelation is available to every Christ-follower, because our Father has done everything in His power to ensure that we hear His heart for our lives (our DESTINY). The revelation of Jesus is waiting in Heaven to be downloaded upon the earth and it is available for each of us in this unique time in human history. We will not receive this truth from the false gods and political agendas that surround us, rather, we will receive it from God, our Father.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4">To live by faith is to live in the Kingdom of God; while to believe only that which reason can verify is to live as a heathen under the power of the kingdom of darkness.</span></p>
